This man has it figured out 😂

Your not living life of your not as smart as this being.
As a Turkish man, I %80 agree with you. Yes there are tons of oil in our food but it is not the main reason. Average turkish person eats 200 gr of white bread. And nearly every food contains white flour. Our economy is really bad so %50 of people cant even properly eat proteins and healthy oils, carbs...

@@vicyet6002 yeah for sure it's definitely the exception but I would've thought other countries were similar to the UK before reading about it. Just tryna explain Joe's POV when he was asking
Now let’s not totally scare people away from oil. Olive oil especially, is very nutritious and good for us. I use it in every meal and my physique is slim. I’ve recovered from an eating disorder years ago and this video totally would have fed into my phobia
👀👍🏻
Well there's a difference between using it and smothering it on like cream on your skin. As with all things: Moderation.
Olive oil is high in calories like any other oil
are you serious..? literally most people consume oil on a daily basis 💀 its consuming food thats swimming in oil which is unhealthy..
Well there are good oils and bad oils: good oils avocado oil coconut oil olive oil, bad oils sunflower oil grapeseed oil canola oil soybean oil palm oil

Same I was in turkey for 3 months and instead of eating 1 meal I'll eat 5 meals
Also bread consumption is a issue in Turkey. It is the highest in per person.
It strongly depends on the kind of oil, I think it has much more to do with culture. Countries like Turkey have a high connection to food. It’s just a big part of their lives.
So does Italy and they're thinner
@@seanmurphy2365 And the Italian food is not produced with a lot of olive oil? Ever been there?
@@erikbouma9408 yeah olive oil is pretty much a staple in Italy, but it's probably the amount that's used that makes a difference
@@alexandradevilgore974 its not much about the amount but purity. Southern europeans and middle easterns are used to have pure quality olive oil available at all times. I like in south america, and mostly i buy supermarket ones that are not pure, but id rather do that than pay $20 for an imported one
You guys are acting like olive oil is bad for you. It's one of the healthiest oils.
as a Middle Eastern guy, I can tell you that it's not just the food or the oil but the lifestyle, lack of exercise and high stress due to financial problems and other related stress and a lot of cigarettes on top of that is very common in those countries and of course it increases cholesterol and obesity
Nope. Obviously carbs and sugar make people obese.
Trust me, I am obese before.
After cut sugar and carbs, only eat beef, chicken, milk, low calorie fruits, lot of veggies, never hungry and now my body weight in good BMI.
@@apair4002 carbs and sugar surely is one of the reasons why people are obese, but its not just that, dont count out other reasons; although smoking cigarettes is not a valid reason for obesity, research suggests that heavy smokers are more likely to be more overweight or underweight, but its just due to their attitudes. Heavy smokers are more likely to be a non-healthy person rather than a healthy one.

Healthier food is more expensive? Which ones are u talking about?
@@cbazxy2697 vegetables, fruits, grains almost everything you can think of that is healthy is expensive here mate. Exercise requires money, time, and the will to do it.
@@TheKraaaze the reason isn't necessarily lack of veggies, fruits in their diet.
They just have to eat less/ consume less calories and maybe take multivitamins for micronutrients till income increases.
And i agree exercise can be difficult when people has less free time.

@@cbazxy2697 I don’t think you understand the crisis in Turkey rn. the income doesn’t just “increase”.
@@cbazxy2697Organic food in the US is more expensive, but also a bag of chips and other snacks from the $1 store, the $1 menu at McD's costs more than fruit, eggs, veggies.
As a turkish man I can agree to you but there are more issues like inactivity , stress and you said eating sugar and a lot of meals containing oil, but really if you taste our foods you will understand it 😁😊
You also have to remember that Turkish culture is all about insisting. Insist you to dance, insist you to stay longer, and most importantly insist you to eat more to the point of obesity. My Turkish grandma used to say that I was never eating enough when I was literally the heaviest I’ve been in my whole life.
Also eating is the main way people socialize, things like sunflower seeds and watermelon are needed before every conversation. Then when you visit anyone they insist that you eat their desserts.
Clear Chaos being the chonkiest in the family

Even with dating. The men insist you date them. They’ll even follow you around until you do.
Same as in eastern Europe and Balkans, thats the culture.

Man you sure can eat alot. I went to turkey and ate all very healthy meals. People have to make better decisions. The food sure was cheap and delicious.
Great point on the oil. If people just would use less oil it could make or break their diet.
but it is for sure hard to stay on track while eating outside as a turkish person it has alwayas been very hard for me to stay in my calorie range while eating outside

Hello greg i like your vids al lot

you really have to..
That is entirely inaccurate in the reasoning part. The main reason behind obesity is that Turkish people feed mainly on bread and low nutrient-dense carbs. They don't consume healthy oils, vegetables, and quality protein as needed. The eating habits are pretty diverse though, so carb-related obesity is less of a concern in certain parts of the country (one being the west coast).
The rich Turkish cuisine is historically carb-dense, but the economical turndown of recent years has particularly led to this obesity-prone diet. Not to mention the increasingly sedentary lifestyle...
As a Greek, I have realized how similar our food is😅. Many obese people in Greece as well.. The oily foods are really tasty but unhealthy. Turkey is unironically a pretty cool country
Edit: Thanks for the likes my guys :))

Economic downturns also leads to obesity in Turkey. Because of the recent Economic difficulties people started to go for Cheaper alternatives including higher fat, oil and sugar, which in turn, drives obesity
You right because I'm turkey
That fish place has given the most expensive stuff they had. It depends on the season, but there are actually grilled fish choices that can be healthier than those.
This first sweet you ate is "macun" (pronounced "muh-joon", means "paste"). It's actually a really old, traditional sweet snack that fell out of popularity for quite some time but has made a comeback. Mainly sugar boiled to a paste with some flavorings. There are other pastes that are made with different herbs for their medicinal (in most cases aphrodisiac) qualities, but they are not really sold on the streets.

This actually surprised me because I lived in turkey for a few months not long ago and don’t remember seeing a many obese people at all especially compared to somewhere like London
Same here
the obese people of turkey are the old people young turks are not that fat since we all work jobs where we move much, once we get old we still habe the same diet but cant move as much due to age so that is why we get fat at later years. Also most turkisch men are pretty muscular even if they are fat.
@@necipdemirbuga7024 I barley see any muscular young guy in turkey nowdays, they are mostly skinny or fat.
But that's true for the previous generation, young lads back in the day were amazingly muscular compared to Young guys nowdays.
it's different on every city as well. if you go to Izmir, you'll probably barely see any actually fat person. but if you go to Adana or places near that, you will probably see a lot of fat ppl. in istanbul tho, you would probably see mostly average looking ppl. not skinny nor fat.
Exactly...I did not come across one morbidly obese person.Whereas in UK every women other women was a waist 40 inch.
I like how he trains regardless where he goes for travelling. Dedication right there. I am glad you had good time in my home country.
It's not solely about diet and nutrition. I live abroad and every time I visit my relatives in turkey, I'm totally baffled by the attitude of some people towards certain physical standards. There are, I shit you not, especially men who, by means of alcohol, physical neglect, smoking etc. deliberately aim to become more obese in order to appear more mature, rough and "manly".
idk abt that being a general thing like i’ve never heard someone say being fat is like manly or cool BUT your comment reminded me of something my grandma said. someone mentioned a guy’s belly and she said “but he’s a man it’s normal” or something like that. nah not da visceral fat normalization 😭
From a 🇹🇷 perspective all said by Joe were right but I would like to add a little thing. There is really a culture mixup in Türkiye (probably because of the history) and that leads to a cuisine mixup of different cultures. For instance, the Aegean side of Türkiye eats much much more greens unlike the southeast although they put a lot of olive oil in it or we can say the south side of the country has more dishes which include "şerbetli" sweets like Baklava or Künefe and oily meats like different kinds of kebaps than the mid-west section of the country. I can't totally say there is one cuisine in the country. For İstanbul tho, we can say it's a good representation of the whole country. I saw a Bulgarian bro's comment (They can easily understand us to a certain level ) which is really a fact. Economical situation of the country is really related to the healthiness of the eating other than the habits, because of that, I couldn't shock people deciding cheap and delicious döner or white bread kinda things to pricey beef and salad things. Idk I can't tell a dude who receives a minimum salary to eat healthy during the economical crisis of the country which is probably the hardest times other than the Turkish war of Independence and WW2. A little bit of delicious and high-calorie cuisine and sadly a little bit of inflation probably led to that number 1 ranking. Great video as always Joe. 👍
Turkey always number 1

@@Hiaki1000 as a Turk myself it’s deff not the fault of Turkish dishes my parents make very healthy Turkish dishes, and the guy in the video did go to restaurants but most people can’t even afford a restaurant.
I'm an American visiting Turkey and you're not as fat as us. I get big bags of beautiful produce at the grocery store and am happy eating at home. The pastries, chocolates and other delights everywhere might also add to people's weight problems. Poverty and obesity are also linked in the USA.
There's other factors that lead to their obesity rank. In my homeland,Bulgaria people's salaries are low while the inflation goes up. Basically what im trying to say is,that the situation in Turkey is even worse and with the excessive amount of oil on the side,people don't have a choice between eating high satiety healthy foods,along the traditional food that's amazing but really easy to over eat as you said.
Exactly. In developed countries poverty leads to obesity, whereas in underdeveloped countries it leads to starvation. Many people in Turkey consume a lot of bread with their meal to feel full, and it is not the most healthy/low calorie diet. Also, kebab is not consumed as regularly as people think, because 100 gr adana kebap costs at least 55 tl now
Съгласен съм.Заплатите са много ниски и човек работи за да може да си плати яденето нищо друго. Аз консумирам много храна и с моето семейство всеки месец даваме около 1200-1500 лв за храна. Наистина е много тъжно положението в България за пенсионерите. Те могат да изберат да си платят сметките и да изберат междъ храна и лекарства. Както обичам да казвам: Съсипаха я тая държава.
They have access to the best fruit in the world and its very cheap compared to UK and Ireland. I have lived on 100% raw fruit for 4 years and bodybuilding with no expensive meats or starches etc Its a choice they are making.
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw It is cheaper than UK of course, but people in general earn less. I am also bodybuilding and I consider myself to be lucky as I can afford chicken and fruits, not red meat though. People waiting in long lines at "halk ekmek" to buy bread for 1 TL cheaper is not a choice. You just have no idea how privileged you are
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw its cheaper for the tourists,not the people living there. They don't earn much
I live in Istanbul, and you hit the nail on the head with the oily greasy foods. For me, I only eat out on special occasions or rare cheat days as a treat to enjoy delicious but very unhealthy foods. Generally I cook most of my meals at home because even when you order something 'healthy' it is usually soaked in oil. It's very hard to find healthy options - there are a few fitness restaurants but generally their food is super bland.
Fat is healthy. Do you know how to read Medical Journals! Get some of them and learn why do you need fat such as for making hormones. You need to get rid off your Kellogs (GMO corn and oats) On the other hand it is a good thing you cook at home because the oils used in restaurants are inflammatory/toxic oils such as corn etc. And we know how those oils are made. Another point, the same cooking oil in restaurants are used too many times to the point becomes highly cancerogenic.
@@fugenturkoglu Fat is needed. Point is the amount of fat and the isolation level (oil is less healthy than nuts, seeds or avocado).
@@johnnyfly1236 totally agree. If you went to Turkey, you would see every step there is a nut stop; all types of nuts and roasting on ordering. Or of course raw. Turks usually use Cold Press Olive oil. Turkiye is one of the biggest producers of olive oil after Spain. Not Italy; italy just get the olive oil bottle it in Italy. Most of the Italian olive oil is from Turkiye. I never had those Canola, Soy so called vegetable oils in my life. And it's proven animal fat is not inflammatory. Of course anything excessive would cause weight gain, even the healthy fats, protein. The problem in Turkiye is especially poor people surviving on bread. pasta and pastry such as Gözleme, Böreek. And the rich eating too much Patisserie food.
@@fugenturkoglu Anything from animals in inflammatory. The only studies denying that are paid by the animal agriculture industry.
@@johnnyfly1236 lets agree to disagree on this very controversial topic.
I don't think oil is the worst thing that can cause that. I mean look at the italians. They have oil in every food and they're still healthy. The reason I think it's the quality of the oil and how you cook it. Olive oil is one of the best things ever been created.
A lot of Turkish dishes are made with Olive oil too :)
Olive oil is a staple in the Mediterranean region
@@eros727 Exactly
The difference with the Italians is that the Italians are like the French in the sense that they take really good care of their appearance and make a lot of effort to be slender and have a good physique. So they may eat fatty food but they eat it in small portions. Literally when I went to Italy I was amazed at how small the portions of food were while in Turkey the portions are beyond generous and could feed 2-3 Italians lol.
@@DMp-xp6mj I don't think they are fatty just because they have oil. They usually drizzle some of it on top and it's mostly extra virgin olive oil,so it's very healthy!
Most of the Turks I’ve met outside of Turkey and living in the US in particular…stay mainly slim or at a healthy body fat percentage. I would never describe them as obese.
I realize this is different from actually being in Turkey.
Also, all the homemade meals I’ve had from the hands of Turkish cooks is mostly really healthy! Sure, you get your odd syrup soaked desserts or oven baked koftas… but there’s so many gorgeous plant based mezze and salads NOT drowned in oil.
They make excellent use of bulgur, lentils, chickpeas, greens… Turkish food was one of the first cuisines that taught me the reason I grew up hating veggies was because they were prepared SO BLANDLY.
Turkish food gave me freedom to thoroughly enjoy vegetables prepared simply but flavorfully. Eggplant for example… Ali Nazik is mashed eggplant, raw garlic, and yogurt topped with chicken or beef. Not too bad…
Disclaimer: my favorite Turkish dish EVER is Eskandar kabob, which may or may not be drizzled with a delicious butter. 👀
Also think it’s important to note that homemade Turkish food is going to have a LOT less fat, salt and sugar, because take out in any country has crazy amounts of those elements for flavor.

Economy is fucked up so they shrinked the portion size thats probably why
Probably because his one lacked the big white bread and sauce
Because he’s like 200lbs and exercises regularly
we have much smaller portions of meat, usually 70 grams per dürüm, and around 50-70 in bread, and 100-120 grams in a portion. we also dont have those salads and sauces they use in germany. a döner, let alone a big one is enough to fill me while in germany, but i can easily destroy 2 turkish dürüms with ease.
Great video Joe. The effort you put into this is insane. You have traveled to multiple different countries for content. And congrats on 1 mil, it was well deserved.
Turkey is not part of Europe lmao. But I get the point

@@theialx Mhhm.
Fat isn't the problem. Refined, processed carbs are the issue 🧡
Exactly, he is also confusing fat and oil. There is a extremely important difference…. But sugar is the worst of them all. A lot of calories from oil aren’t digested
Exactly, all those meals are full of carbs.
I can see what you're saying with the vast amount of oil.
Some additional points:
1) Turks have a big difference between what they cook at-home vs. the food served on the street. However, the home recipes also have too much oil.
2) Turkish food has been like that for a loooong time. The main difference now is: people are not as active as they used to be (calories-out has reduced)
3) By far THE most important: the population is totally uneducated regarding nutrition. Why they need to eat what macro, for what purpose, etc.. (all countries suffer from this lack of nutritional education)
BTW: the fish covered in salt is a special, ancient way of cooking. You may have been deceived to think you are intaking all that salt: you are not. There is a self-limiting mechanism that saturates the salt penetration during this cooking method. It is not supposed to taste salty.
Why were Americans not fat pre-1980? Did they know anything about macros or calories? No. What changed? I know. Do you?
Great comment. Obvious point to anyone with some experience. Same logic can be applied to many places.
@@stephenh.4476 can you tell me? Please? I'm willing to admit I dont know but I'm very curious about it
@@stephenh.4476 At 9 seconds into this video, on the map, that is not england which he has highlighted.
@@en2p187 Americans were told that saturated fat (animal protein mostly) was bad for them, and to start eating more fruits and vegetables. Saturated fat, which gives most food its flavour, was replaced with unsaturated seed oils. Fat free products were loaded with sugar as well, to make them palatable. High fructose corn syrup started being added to everything. Snacking became more prevalent, as did eating opportunities throughout the day. This all led to a fatter populace.
Joe your production quality just seems to get better and better! Great stuff !
Fact: Turkey is Europe when the context is bad and NOT europe when context is good.
The other thing why Turkish people are obese is a lot of us think being fatter means you are healthier so we raise our kids to be a little bit chubby and their eating habbits carry out on their adulthood most of the times cuz nutrition is not really a well known topic and we keep on doing what our parents told us.
so true it’s in our culture for us to be fed 927273 pounds of food. I remember when I first told my family I wanted to maintain a healthier diet my mom took it as I wanted to be anorexic.
As a Greek, I know what you mean. In Greece we might not be as obese overall but our child obesity rates are off the charts because it's ingrained in our culture to feed and feed and feed small kids as much as possible because "they will grow tall with that weight" or so we think 😂😂
Similar in Serbia. Man isn't a man if he isn't big. In muscles or fat.
I’m Turkish and the main reason is simple; most of the food are either heavy on carbs (a LOT of dough dishes), heavy on oil, heavy on sugar and lastly contains a lot of calories (cheese, bread, small sides). Nonetheless it all tastes incredible lol.

Very similar in Pakistan. Way too much refined flour and sugar, recent boom in fast food restaurants in every gulley in major cities, insane amount of oil, and a sedentary lifestyle because there’s nothing to do here other than eat. Any time people want to do something they go out to “eat.” Diabetes is a growing problem here.

There is also Lots of great salads and great vegetable dishes in Turkey. Do these with olive oil and its great
As a turkish guy, some of the reasons why turkey is the most obese country is that one, they eat lots of white bread because its traditional and fills you up, so what they do is, they eat smaller portion of actual meals and rely on bread on the side to get full. since the economic situation is really bad, this works well for their wallets also.
the second reason being the extremely low awareness of nutrition. as seen in the video that guy telling you whatever you ate was healthy, the perspective is that, if its sold on a plate and not a bag like chips are and it fills you up then its healthy. throw in a couple of vegetables and yogurt on the side and you might as well be on a diet. for example, chicken is considered a healthy food and it stops right there, so the fact that they put a hell of an oil on them doesnt register. not to mention the poor street food regulation. it could very well be horse meat you're eating. and to top it of, almost every adult smokes and doesnt exercise here.

It's nothing to do with the economic situation . In fact, the richer the Turkish people, the more they consume Baklava, Puddings, Patisserie products, sweets....

You can find every culture’s food here. Nevertheless, İf you want to find healthy food, you can find healthy food. Maybe it’s can be expensive.
Greetings from İstanbul :)
This is the best advertisement to go to turkey ever i want all that food now and im less that normal weight rn OMG
Mediterranean diet is renowned for being extremely healthy (and that includes copious use of olive oil) As has been pointed out the Turkish addiction to sugar and starch on display here explains the obesity epidemic, not the consumption of oil
Man, the effort in these videos is insane :)
Hey Joe! Will you visit Hungary once? I can’t wait to see you here! Love you videos bro! Keep doing.💪😎
I'm italian and I can guarantee that we use extra vergin olive oil in almost every meal, yet we're still pretty healthy.
It's the *amount* of it that makes the difference.
A tablespoon of olive oil on a salad and another one on a steak doesn't make you fat.
The point is, we don't add anything else in it.
No yogurt sauces or sweet condiments.
Just olive, salt and maybe some good vinegar.
The way you say Europe, definitely didnt replay it too many times
As a greek guy, I thought the thumbnail was in Greece because the chubby dude looks 100 percent greek, but seeing it's in Turkey, it makes sense, our countries are awfully similar. Hello, neighbors, much love! 🇬🇷♥️🇹🇷
western turks are greeks in denial
Μην τα λες αυτά παραέξω..
@@MastroOfficial Ο λόγος;
love from turkiye
nice greek man 🤙🏻🇬🇷
Bro love you soooooooo much continue your so high quality videos 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Turkiye is in my Top 5 bucket list to visit. To visit the Blue Mosque, Nicaea, etc. The food, that ice cream.
Jesus loves you, he is the way!
Jesus is a prophet
Yep@@HaithamAicha-co3gb
I love your world traveling adventures. You should do a series out of it! 🙂🛩🌎
Wait until he sees what traditional Mexican food is like. So much oil and so much cheese. its why Mexican food is my first love
Very good statement after all!
The fish restaurant wasn't bad. All that salt that covers the fish forms a solid wrap when baked that gets rid of afterwards, and the fish absorbs the right amount of salt .It shouldn't be salty at all. Also, the olive oil that I asume their pouring on is healty fat and it's not empty calories at all.
Yes, there were fries and bread but that's about it.
It’s hard to not binge with all that food around you congrats to you Joe
Im the local in the video hello to everyone love the content!
Usta keşke taksicilere güvenme de deseydin adam gitmiş taksiciye restoran sormuş ahahahshab
This is why I like vacationing in the UK. They write the calories everywhere and it's SO easy to eat out and keep to your diet, so damn easy. Where I live in Malta, it's just now starting to show calories and in like 2 restaurants on the island frankly. It would be so much easier if calories were shown on menus! People say it causes EDs which is bloody ridiculous, it prevents them if anything
as a turkish man living in the US now first i have to say i was pleasantly surprised to see that u visited my city. i have to say that if you’re out, you really don’t have much options when it comes to healthy food as great tasting food is cheap and convenient. however i feel like the younger generation is generally fit as far as my experience goes. I feel like our metabolism adapted to consume vast amount of calories that even in the US now no matter how much i eat i lose weight, and thats generally 4 big meals a day. And I’ve seen other young turkish people experience the same too. also a counter observation is that having a lot of fat in our diet (for male), especially olive oil, actually had somewhat of a positive impact in terms of testosterone levels as I and many of my turkish friends look much more grown and masculine compared to my age people here in the US. Genetics definitely have a role but I don’t think it’s only reliant to that. Just a counter observation.
That’s just because US men are factually lower in testosterone than Europeans. Even brits, swedes, Irish etc are all much more masculine/developed looking than Americans of the same age because American food is pretty devoid of actual nutrition, and lifestyle. Europeans are more likely to play sports, rugby football boxing etc, Americans are more likely to do no physical activity.
The banned stuff in American food make them less developed.
2:40 dude, he just took you to the furthest restaurant 🤣
Bread is the most popular food item in Turkey, hands down. Everybody eats bread with their meal
It's all down to portion size and nothing more. Overeating is the biggest problem of all.
Joe doesn't just make GREAT content, he makes UNIQUE content and always comes up with awesome videos. Fair play dude😎😎😎
Very interesting and informing video.
Joe! You look like a monster man 💪
Keep up the great work with these awesome videos!
Update: you know it’s going to be a good day when joe posts!
I still believe that Kebabs are a healthy meal. Much better than Macdonalds. And oil is good for you, in moderation. I think sugar is the problem, not fat. The Scientists back in the 1980s really screwed up in Food science!
The problem is seed oils, Olive oil is fine
As a Turkish man living in Thailand, i have been weighed around 80 kg for long time. My activity includes few workout from time to time plus infrequent jogging in the mornings, however my weight had been fairly stable. Two months ago came back to Turkey and within this very short time period went up to 90 kg. We Turkssh people are addicted to our own food and it makes you prone to gain wieght. Plain and simple...
The thing is, we dont eat kebabs or doners at home. And you dont typically find home food out on the street-none of the places you have been to offered regular Turkish food Turkish women would cook at home. Regular Turkish food is based on grains and vegetables but yes usually it has tons of butter and olive oil.
a piece of baklava is about 400cals and most of the people eat at least two of them as 'sweet' after the dinner.
if you have the money for it
@@cryingselfie when they get the chance they eat in that. I didnt say everyone does that, if they do they eat it as sweets. From what I have seen thats how it is eaten
@@cryingselfie it is not something only you buy,you can have baklava anywhere,could be a guest house. i dont know where are you getting at but there are as many 'rich' people as poor people in this country.
Baklava almanyada yersin
I eat like 6-8 pieces, if I have bought baklava, but I live in Bulgaria and here it cost 15levs-30levs per kg, which is around 188tl-283tl.
Big support from 🇹🇷 I wish I had known that you were in Istanbul. I appreciate your vids and have been following them for years. You came so far 🔥🔥
I think you should have looked more at what they eat daily. What they buy at the grocery etc.
Turkey is just permanently bulking
Coming from Greece, a country with similar food culture, I realized 3 main key issues :
1) sweets and desserts EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere. I have not seen so much candy in my life, in shops, gas stations, mini markets, TR has it all and people love it
2) foods are a little heavier, not much with olive oil and portions are generous
3) Idk if this is just Izmir, but man it was hard to find something healthy that wasnt a ... spinach pide or borek( which is super oily btw). I even asked around and people laughed at me lol. I am sure the healthy-bowl mania will come there too eventually
Πως ακριβώς λες ότι είναι κοινά φαγητά όταν ΔΕΝ είναι;
@@thesoundinyourhead1782 τι εννοεις; Δεν μιλησα καθολου για κοινα φαγητα.
@@zofilep3612"similar food culture". Δεν είναι. Έχουν περισσότερες περσικες καταβολές τα φαγητά τους. Έχουν βούτυρο αρκετό επίσης.
@@thesoundinyourhead1782 Γι αυτο λεω similar food culture και οχι "the same food culture". Η κουζινα της Τουρκιας, ειδικα της δυτικης, ειναι κοντα στην ελληνικη , σε σχεση με την βρετανική. Πολλα πιάτα ειναι παρομοια ωστόσο τα κανουμε πολυ πιο υγιεινα στην Ελλαδα.
@@zofilep3612 Η διατροφικές μας συνήθειες σαν λαός έχουν επίσης επηρεαστεί πάρα πολύ απο τη θρησκεία. Κόκκνο κρεάς συγκεκριμμένες μέρες, πολλά όσπρεια/λαχανικά/ψάρια κλπ και επίσης οι βολικές νηστείες για αποτοξίνωση. Βέβαια, κανένας δεν ακολουθεί αυτούς τους κανόνες διατροφής πλέον καθώς έχουμε διαθέσιμες πολλές περισσότερες επιλογές (ή λιγότερες ανάλογα τις αλεργίες/δυσανεξίες/διατροφικές επιλογές). Είναι όμως κάτι που συζητούσαμε πρόσφατα με 2 φίλους μου διατροφολόγους και καταλήξαμε στο "Κοίτα να δεις ρε φίλε που που είχαν βγάλει μια πολύ σωστή διατροφή οι άτιμοι". Και κάτι που μου έχει κάνει εντύπωση είναι πως στη διατροφή μας έχουμε πολύ περισσοτερο τα όσπρια απο τις υπόλοιπες μεσογειακές χώρες και δε μπορώ να καταλάβω γιατί.
Hey Joe ! Did you tried „Iskender Kebab“ over there ? It is my favourite and an absolute unit when it comes to tase 😉 (and calorie wise 😁)
No plot twist, no second guessing, just stating the facts as they are. I wish more RUclipsrs would do this.
Instead of eating Greek salad and living for 100 years I would rather eat Turkish kebab and live for 1 year
exactly
Olive oil is in almost every mediterranean dish
and mediterranean diets are healthy wtf
@@lorenzospitaleri they are
@@lorenzospitaleri olive oil is healthy
@@iskambillordu I know that
Yes, but is it overloaded with it... Amount matters
2:47 I was there in December last year with my family, we ate fish at a different restaurant tho, it was delicious and I don't remember it being covered with oil it was pretty healthy
They make the food with oil do you saw them cooking the food? No
Amazing video
